I certainly wasn't watch the game that was causing so much anger and leading to some ridiculous commentsDon't be a drama monarch! It's the match thread. That is what it is for. COVID?

A missed opportunity for sure.Would love to have seen Davis and Watkins up against Kazak and Phillips.Can't understand why that didn't happen.
Bringing on Barkley, what on earth was the point in that? He's not our player, he won't be here next season,and other than the first two or three games he's been abysmal. Why not give somebody who will be here next season a chance? Davis came on and changed the game last week, so while I'm not a huge fan of his, he deserved a chance today ahead of Ross sodding Barkley who has done bugger all to deserve another chance. It was the same last year when he persevered with that waste of space Danny Drinkwater. Clueless.

Liverpool looked a shadow of last season but I thought we were poor especially in the first half. The most frustrating thing is we make the same mistakes over and over and over. I’ve seen far worse Villa sides but few that enrage me as much as this one. The ball doesn’t stick up top. We give the ball away unchallenged so many times and teams can drive a bus through the centre of our midfield. We have no plan B. We are so set it our ways tactics wise. When it works it’s great but when it doesn’t we seem incapable of changing anything. I love Smith more than anyone in the world. But if I owned this football club I’m not sure I’d be willing to give him another £150m to spend because let’s face it that’s what we need to challenge at the top end.

He's a year into a new four year contract. Don't think Davis will be going anywhere.

If that happens it means we have some real quality to back Olie up and maybe aid Davis' development into, potentially, a good forward.We need more than Jack and Olie.
